    ipdb.notes
    This fully functional whitewood game was one of many prototypes designed and built by John Trudeau that, for one reason or another, did not get placed into production. This playfield ultimately got stripped and no longer exists. John shares some comments with us about this game:Bring on the elephants! Try to get over the mountains! This was more of an experiment for the positionable slingshots. They were two-position assemblies. They rotated in to try to keep the action more confined and sustained knocking down the drop targets. Actually they didn�t really make much of a difference in play. Normally they were at a more up-and-down configuration (as pictured). They switched to a flatter position at some point (perhaps when a drop target was hit) to try to keep the ball semi-captive and beating down the drop targets. They only kicked in one direction.
